Where is area code 514?

Area code 514 is in Quebec, Canada: all 776 of its exchanges on record are there. From abroad it is dialled +1 514, then the seven-digit number.

Is a 514 number mobile or landline?

Either: in the North American Numbering Plan the line type belongs to the exchange (the three digits after the area code), not to the area code. Of the 776 exchanges on record in 514, 341 (44%) were allocated as mobile, 419 (54%) as fixed line and 16 (2%) as VoIP. A number can have been ported since, to another carrier and even to another line type.

Which carriers have numbers in area code 514?

15 carriers hold exchanges in 514 on record; the most: Bell (424), Rogers (100) and Fido (79). These are the original allocations: with number portability, a number may be served by another carrier today, which only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) can tell.

How do I validate a 514 phone number?

In E.164 a 514 number matches ^\+1514[2-9]\d{6}$: +1, the area code, a central office code that does not start with 0 or 1, then four digits. Written nationally it reads (514) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.

The exchange patterns follow the original allocations; a number ported since keeps its digits but not necessarily its carrier or its line type.
